Hi Everyone, I have been overweight all my life and to be honest am fed up of diets and weight loss tablets that never work. I can honestly say that I really did try. I have decided to see a consultant about a band and would like some advice. I understand that it is a complete life style change and I am so ready for that but I have a few questions as I can't wait until I see the consultant:- After the op - how long was is before you go back to work? What is the realistic weight loss. By the way I'm 5'5" and 14stone 11 pounds Thanks very much Celina

Hi All Thanks for all your advice. Things have changed a bit now. I had a bad chest infection and I had a scan which showed that I have furing of the artery in my heart. I am told its nothing to worry about if I change my lifestyle and weight. My doctor as now written to a specialist as he now thinks that I can get it done on the NHS so figgers crossed. Thanks again for your advice. Celina
